After usurping the throne, he died

??The wound was in pain, and Mu Xiang was in a daze.

??The first time he knew that Brother Huang liked Chang Qing was when he was 15 years old.

??Because of the so-called prophecy, even if he was taken back, the palace he lived in was far away from the East Palace, so even after several years of coming back, he never met the prince.

?? But that day a small child broke into here because he wanted to eat the cherries in the yard next door.

?? Across the wall, he heard Chang Qing change to the person next to him, His Highness the Crown Prince. Only then did he realize that this person was his elder brother whom he had never met.

??His elder brother said to the other boy in a gentle and indulgent tone: "Be careful, don't fall."

?? "It won't fall!" Chang Qing's voice was clear and sweet, "His Royal Highness, please pick it up!"

??Chang Qing, who was only eight years old, climbed onto the branch, looked at Mu Xiang who was looking up, and was completely stunned.

??But because of Mu Yu's urging, he moved down without making a sound.

?? "Didn't you say that you can call me brother in private."

"But Mammy said it can't be called that..."

?? "I say yes." Mu Yu's tone was a little smiling, "If you don't want to call, I will leave. You can stay in the tree."

??Mu Xiang on the side of the wall speculated that Chang Qing was thin and thin, so it was easy to climb up the tree, but it was inconvenient to go down, and he needed someone to follow him.

??Sure enough, Chang Qing became anxious in the next second, and he called several times Mu Xiang's name that he had never called before: "Brother Prince, I was wrong, you take me, please..."

??It wasn't until she fell into Mu Yu's arms that Chang Qing jumped off him and whispered, "There seems to be someone living next door."

?? "...you saw him?"

??"Ok……"

??"how does he look like?"

?? "It's very, very beautiful..." Chang Qing said with some guilt, "It's just a little bit worse than His Royal Highness..."

??Mu Yu scolded with a smile: "Come on, I know, you mean to say you're prettier than me, right?"

?? On the other side of the wall, Mu Xiang heard the two voices gradually drifting away, and slowly returned to silence.

??He didn't really want an older brother, he just had a little curiosity about this elder brother he had never met.

??His mother and concubine have been telling him since picking him up that he has to work hard, to fight, and to snatch the throne from Mu Yu.

??He is also the child of the queen, and he is also the legitimate son. He has been indoctrinated with such thoughts, although he has never listened to it.

??Mu Xiang knew that the queen mother might not love her, but she hadn't conceived her second child for a long time, so she had no choice but to bring him into the palace and use it as a bargaining chip in the palace fight.

??…

??Mu Xiang doesn't know why he has such a deep memory of that day, maybe because he was punished by Mu Huaihe to kneel the next day.

??Because he and Mu Yu "collided", even though they were separated by a wall, even though it was Mu Yu who came here by himself.

?? When he came back to his senses, Chang Qing was sadly saying to Mu Yu: "The National Teacher is not on your side, Your Highness..."

??"Well--"

?? Under Mu Xiang's gesture, Chang Qing's mouth was blocked.

?? Mu Yu's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

?? He raised his head and looked at Mu Xiang: "Chang Qing is still young, you let him go, you can do whatever you want with me."

??Mu Xiang smiled: "Why do you think Gu will do anything to him?"

?? Mu Yu looked at him silently.

?? "You are so Changqing, but you broke into the palace in broad daylight, intending to assassinate Gu, if it wasn't for..."

??Mu Xiang paused slightly, his tone relaxed, and said: "If it wasn't for the master of the state teacher to rescue him, I'm afraid Gu would have been separated from the emperor at this moment."

??Unexpectedly, a few traces of anger flashed across Mu Yu's eyes, but then he was exhausted again, with a sense of hatred for iron and steel: "Changqing!"

?? Chang Qing was gagged, struggling and looking at his highness the crown prince sadly.

??Mu Xiang watched coldly: "Gu is not interested in his life. I brought him here today just to tell Brother Huang that if you stay safe, he will be fine."

"Otherwise, the crime of assassinating the Crown Prince alone would be enough for him to die ten times."

?? Mu Yu lowered his head helplessly: "Why didn't you just kill me?"

?? "Some people care more about the life of the emperor than the emperor. Only when the emperor is alive can he check and balance the prime minister, check and balance—"

??Mu Xiang's tone paused slightly, and he bent slightly, pinched Mu Yu's chin and lifted it up: "Gu Ye is here to warn the emperor, don't let Gu find out that you have anything to do with the national teacher, otherwise I have always been cruel... ..."

??Mu Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, as if he was surprised by something, but also like a clear understanding after accumulating doubts for a long time.

??"why?"

?? "He is my man, he is now, and he can only be in the future."

?? Mu Yu looked at Mu Xiang's leaving back, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

??He asked before Mu Xiang completely left: "The reason why you hated me so much later is because... you admire the Master of the National Teacher?"

??Mu Xiang paused slightly, inexplicably disliked the word admiration.

?? It's not admiration, so what else could it be?

??Chang Qing was taken away by Mu Xiang and locked in a secret room. It was pitch black and there was nothing there.

??Of course, in order to keep him alive, Mu Xiang will have three meals a day on time and send someone to deliver water and food.

?? At this time the night is dark.

??Mu Xiang walked in the empty palace, followed by Shang Xi.

??The moon is extraordinarily round tonight, and the moonlight is also extraordinarily cold. It casts a layer of cool light on the high wall.

?? Shang Xi respectfully followed behind him: "Your Highness, the night is getting dark, it's time to go to rest."

?? "Alone is not sleepy."

"But Master Guoshi said..." Shang Xi glanced at Mu Xiang's face, "Master Guoshi said that you need to rest early these few days."

??Mu Xiang didn't refute, but stopped, and changed direction after a few seconds: "Go to Weiyang Palace."

?? Shang Xi: "..."

??Other emperors went to Weiyang Palace at night to find love for the empress, but his master was lucky enough to go to Weiyang Palace in the middle of the night to find the national teacher.

??Mu Xiang soon came to the main hall, but unfortunately the lights were all extinguished, he waved away Shang Xi, and stood alone in front of the door for a long time.

?? The moonlight covered half of his figure with a light silver halo, making him look a bit lonely.

??He raised his hand and stopped in the air for a long time, but he still didn't knock on the door, but turned around, ready to sit in the long pavilion on the left.

?? A voice suddenly came from the door: "Your Highness is here so late, what's the matter?"

??Mu Xiang was slightly startled, turned around, and with a squeak, the wooden door opened, and Shi He appeared in front of him, his expression as cold as moonlight.

?? He spit out without thinking: "The wound hurts."

??Shi He said: "Then His Highness should summon the imperial physician."

??Mu Xiang: "...just passing by."

??The two looked at each other for a long time, but Mu Xiang looked away uncomfortably, and Shi He turned around and walked in.

?? He didn't close the door, so Mu Xiang naturally thought that he was asking him to go in, so he followed behind.

?? Although Weiyang Palace is the queen's residence, it looks a bit rudimentary because of the lack of decoration.

?? "Tomorrow, I will send some things over, and the palace maids and eunuchs, the national teacher, can you pick them?"

"No need." Shi He turned his body sideways, motioning Mu Xiang to sit down.

?? He rolled up Mu Xiang's sleeves and helped him remove the gauze from the wound that Chang Qing had cut today.

??Then took out a medicine bottle and sprinkled some medicine powder on Mu Xiang's wound.

?? The room was quiet for a while, only the crisp sound of the medicine bottle colliding with the table.

??Shi He's movements were not slow, but it took almost an incense stick of effort to help Mu Xiang re-bandage.

??Mu Xiang did feel that the faint pain in the wound was gone. It should be that Shi He's medicine had an analgesic effect.

??He was not in a hurry to leave, and looked at Shi He's back packing up the medicine bottle and asked, "Why did you save me?"

?? Shi He didn't pause: "Your Highness is the crown prince, so naturally I won't sit idly by."

?? "..."

?? In other words, this sentence means that Shi He can save anyone.

But Mu Xiang still wants to ask, isn't Mu Yu his student, and his own death can only be beneficial to Mu Yu, so why should he save him?

??Mu Xiang is not afraid of death, most of the time he even thinks that death is a good ending.

?? He also knew that his sickly body might die one day due to a serious illness, but he didn't care.

??As long as you get what you want when you are alive, and feel comfortable and wanton, then everything is worth it.

?? He said: "I'm sleepy."

??Shi He turned around: "Then please go back, Your Highness."

?? Mu Xiang and Shi He looked at each other for a few more seconds. Shi He didn't know what he had realized, and took out the jade seal he had prepared in advance: "It was supposed to be brought to His Highness at dinner, but His Highness was poisoned and unconscious , it was delayed for a while."

?? "..." Mu Xiang didn't answer, "Is that word still with the Imperial Teacher?"

?? "Yes, His Highness can take it away at any time if you want." Shi Hedan said, "It's just stained with blood. If His Highness doesn't like it, I can rewrite it."

?? "No, this one is very good." Mu Xiang stopped circling, and went straight to the point, "I just want to stay in Weiyang Palace tonight."

?? In order to show his determination, he even called himself Gu in front of Shi He.

?? "..." Shi He's eyes rarely flashed a strange color, he glanced at the bed, "The facilities here are simple, His Highness may not be used to sleeping."

??"Won't."

??Shi He nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Then please be more considerate, Your Highness, the humble house is simple."

?? After Mu Xiang lay down, he came to the candlestick and extinguished the flickering candle, and his shadow was slowly swallowed by the night.

??Mu Xiang successfully obeyed his original intention and stayed. He slept on the bed where Shi He slept, as if Shi He's clear breath was entangled in his breath.

??Shi He didn't know whether he went to the side room or where, Mu Xiang couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness.

"Shi He?" He rarely called out Shi He's name.

?? "I am here, Your Highness."

?? Hearing Shi He's reply, Mu Xiang fell silent again.

?? Judging from the source of the sound, Shi He should be in the left ventricle, where there is a side collapse.

?? There was an indescribable strange feeling in Mu Xiang's heart. While his heart was swollen, he also felt empty in the center, as if something was missing.

?? He stared at the pitch-black night for a long time, and actually felt a little drowsy. His eyes slowly closed, and his long black eyelashes trembled twice, and his breathing slowly and steadily.

??One last thought - if he was sleeping right next to Gu...
